The season was announced in September where a short teaser hinted at a departure from Hawkins, Indiana, but the Upside Down was still present.

The announcement was made nearly three months after the release of the show's third season on July 4. The first glimpse at the new chapter for the series ends with an ominous note, saying, "We're not in Hawkins anymore," as a bell rings out.

The announcement for another season for the hit show comes with another set of news of a new overall deal creators The Duffer Brothers have inked with the streaming service.

“We are absolutely thrilled to continue our relationship with Netflix,” the Duffers said in a statement. “From our first pitch meeting to the release of Stranger Things 3, the entire team at Netflix has been nothing short of sensational, providing us with the kind of support, guidance, and creative freedom we always dreamed about. We can’t wait to tell many more stories together — beginning, of course, with a return trip to Hawkins!”

Fans already have speculations that Jim Hopper could still be alive. The fate of the popular character (played by actor David Harbour) was left in limbo at the conclusion of the Netflix hit’s third season, but new photos from the program’s Georgia set show what appears to be Hopper’s car, reported the Daily Mail.

As of now, no release date has been announced for season four of Stranger Things.
